How to read this. Waits are the walk-up waitlist times Disney's app posted for Cafe Orleans (October 14, 2026 to October 27, 2026), averaged per day and hour in park time. They only count when the walk-up list was open, so a short average can still mean the list was often closed; "List open" is the share of the app's checks in that hour with the list open. Hours with fewer than 5 days of data are left out. Mobile Order times are not walk-up waits and are not included.
